USED YAMAHA / FG-180 / Red Label Natural [12]

The YAMAHA FG-180 / Red Label has arrived.
As Japan’s first acoustic guitar—commonly known as the “Red Label”—this model traces its lineage to the legendary Japan Vintage series. It is characterized by powerful, ground-shaking bass and a straightforward tone with a touch of melancholy that resonates deeply with Japanese sensibilities. The explosive sound and exhilarating sensation when strumming it vigorously are truly one-of-a-kind.

Additionally, it shows signs of wear commensurate with its age, such as replaced bridge pins, repaired bridge pin holes, a replaced rod cover screw on the top side, a reattached pickguard due to peeling, and a slight twist in the neck.
